231 Alternate Induction Air

[Nemesis]

Perhaps my 231 is one of the few out there, where, when Mooney offered the redesigned Alternate Induction Air system, that the person who owned it at that time did not take advantage of the free kit.
Does anybody know of a source for the parts so that something resembling a complete kit might be put together? A mechanic friend asked Mooney earlier in the year and they did not have any parts for them at that time. I know that he made several other calls as well but I do not know to whom.
Maybe Don Maxwell, Lasar, or Top Gun - if any of you are monitoring this week...
Or, if anybody has any leftover parts so that I can begin piecing it together...
The system is shown in the part catalog at 71-60-00 for the M20K.
The part number for the box itself is 600382-9503.
If I at least had a complete box assy then I am sure that the rest could be put together.

Thanks,
Dave

Might be worth a try to call Rocket Engineering. I bet they threw away dozens of them. They may by sheer luck still have one.

Thanks Randy. I did call Rocket. One of the guys there said that I was on the right track trying to find a box, but that all of the serviceable parts that they removed way back when were snatched up pretty quickly.

In the end however, I did find two. One guy sent me pictures and is now sending me the alt air box for a very fair price. I did not ask for pictures from the second guy whose price for the box alone is $1300.
